Here is a somewhat eye-popping statistic: Ohio State wide receivers who were able to regularly compete in spring practice this season combined for exactly one catch for 29 yards during the 2015 campaign. Those numbers alone show exactly how inexperienced the Buckeyes are at that specific position this upcoming year.
Ohio State lost Michael Thomas, Jalin Marshall and Braxton Miller from its wide receiver room following last season. And with Noah Brown, Corey Smith, Curtis Samuel and Dontre Wilson — the top-four expected pass catchers for the Buckeyes this year — all either out or limited, spring practice had its fair share of inconsistencies.
